How to write just in cursive

  1. 1Write j, u, s, t as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
  2. 2Go back and dot the j and cross the t.
Strokes: 3Pencil lifts: 2Letters: 4

Keep u and s small — they live between the baseline and the midline. Let t climb toward the topline. j dips under the baseline before swinging back up.

How the letters in just connect

Follow the joins as you write just: j ends on an overcurve that carries into the undercurve opening of u; u ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of s; s ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of t.
